Overall review of the company
engineer (Former Employee), Winnipeg, MB – June 27, 2012
Pros: great people
Cons: no job security
The company pays good, no complaint.
Your career depends on the project you have.

Great company to work for, at least my group
Project Manager (Current Employee), Fairfax, VA – April 29, 2013
Pros: relaxed operations, very very few interpersonal problems.
Cons: a little tight wad when it comes to investing in professional development
Fragmented company whose policies differ by which business unit/office or even team you are in. But Tt has treated me very well over the years.

Needs new leadership
Senior Executive (Former Employee), EAS – January 18, 2013
Cons: no advancement.
Company buys small local firms then uses resources to make local presence. Does not follow through on marketing efforts.
Downturn handle poorly. Layoffs at any downturn.
Company culture and values opposite of marketing on website.
They promise rewards for excellence, but fail to execute. Expendable even after exceptional continual meeting of quotas, – more... deadlines, client feed back, margins and successful projects. – less

Tetra Tech is a great place to work with lots of perks.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST II (Former Employee), Lansing, MI – January 15, 2013
I learned more at Tetra Tech in 3 years than I did in 4 years of college. Hands on work with experienced co-workers gave me the foundation to start my own business.

Worst place I've worked and I have 20 years of experience.
Senior Project Manager (Former Employee), New York – January 14, 2013
Pros: facilities are nice, talented architects and engineers
Cons: lack of adequate management, poor operations, all about the numbers
Good pay, great office facility and physical amenities but that's it. Endless Internal financial accountability to the point where no work is getting done. Incredibly talented staff, stifled by lackluster operational structure and poorly trained management, mainly in place due to attrition. Good design takes a back seat to a good quarterly report. Lack – more... of adequate backlog in the buildings group. Firm hires employees away from stable companies and positions within other firms by enticing with high wages but drops employees quickly regardless of promises or performance. A revolving door of highly qualified but lower quartile performers (sales) are dropped regularly. Be prepared to sell or be laid off regardless of your position. – less

Worst company/work place I have Ever worked for
Environmental planner (Former Employee), Boulder, Colorado – November 4, 2012
Pros: dog friendly
Cons: management, work model, endless internal financial reports
In my 17 years as an environmental professional this is the worst place I ever worked (I lasted 9 months in the Boulder office). Consulting is a tough world, but I had terrible management, work load issues and no support from other staff. You are basically a consultant witin the company who needs to find their own work within the conpany. This leads – more... to constant uncertainty. This model is similar to Ch2mhill (Bellevue Wa) office-terrible model for business. – less

Pros: good benefits
Cons: poor management

Consultant Engineer (Former Employee), Morris Plains, NJ – August 17, 2012
Pros: ability to extend my career
Working for Tetra Tech was not like working but more of like getting task done and move on to the next project, I have learned alot from Tetra Tech. The management was very supportive and educational to my needs in my career. My co-worker worked more like a team and family always supportive and helpful. Their was nothing hard about working with Tetra – more... Tech all my resourch was right at my finger tips. The most enjoyable part of working with Tetra Tech was the appreciation that I receive for working with them. – less

Fun on technical side and a mess on management side
Project Manager (Current Employee), Bellevue, WA – July 24, 2012
Pros: good work, good people / co-workers
Cons: no job security, poor general management
In my last 5 years with Tetra Tech, I did learn a lot on engineering side as well as project management side. I had a chance to work with multi-discipline engineers and multi-discipline internal/external teams that increased the breadth of my engineering knowledge. The biggest negative point is poor upper management. Tetra Tech is reluctant to send – more... people for training for some reasons and there is absolutely no planning for career development from the department manager's side or HR side. The most enjoyable part of the job inspite of all the frustration from the chain above was variety of stuff that you get to work on which kept me going and interested. – less

Tetra Tech
Project Engineer (Former Employee), Phoenix, Irvine, Tucson, Payson – November 16, 2011
Pros: worked on many different types of projects
Cons: unable to secure sustainable work
I worked there through good times and bad. During the good times things were great, but the bad times everyone took a hit. the company was split into many different business groups that competed for work with little sharing of resources.
